DRUM CIRCLE

The elusiveness of truth is the impossibility of
describing the reality of the living universe no matter how vast ones
realization and vocabulary may be.

The reason no one can “tell it like it is” is
because “IT” is too infinitely large, complex and ephemeral to begin speaking
about the truth before it’s different. To get around this, language separates “IT”
into little “it”s: subjects of frozen specimens of instances, mini-truths like
bugs plucked from nature, stuck with a pin, studied, named, added to the
language and extrapolated back as a set of truths, or rules, comprising a fixed
pixel in individual and cultural pictures of a nature yet to be realized.

Further diffusion of even these specifically
defined word/mini-truths/rules comes with the infinitely varied evolution of each
individual’s perception mechanism tinting meaning and blurring even the
description of an event by many witnesses beyond recognition between one
extreme and the other.

Great social change gathers around the most basic,
least misunderstandible expression for the overwhelming rejection of the status
quo being profited from and enforced by a word-controlling establishment. The
strength and gathering momentum of the Occupy Wall Street movement is that it
best expresses the solutions to the system against which it rails by General
Assembly, evolving an entirely new model for social behavior among their many
dissatisfied factions that, as separate causes, merely wanted to drive their
version of the old model.

Together these volunteers, standing off
millionaire’s minions sent to silence and erase them, make the sometimes loud
dissatisfactions and as yet unexpressed, great expectations of this awakening
giant resonate throughout the world in a visceral connection through the truth
of the tune, no matter what language sings the lyrics.
